Product Description

This book is David Nashs response to the 300 year old yews in the gardens of Powis Castle on the Welsh borders. Unshaped & trimmed only annually, the yews have grown into fantastic, mountainous shapes which captivated Nashs imagination. This book catalogues his response in sculptures, reliefs & drawings. Some 20 yews have grown into fantastic organic shapes not usually associated with the usual formal training of garden yews. Their striking plasticity instantly challenged Nash when he first saw them. The resulting work is gathered in full colour together with a brief essay by Nash & a short history of the gardens. Beautifully produced, the book will be of interest to gardeners & art historians alike.
